Durable Metal Roof Covers the Country's Most Sustainable, High-Altitude Building

BOLD METAL PANELS RAISE COLLEGE
PROFILE IN CHICAGO

Breathing new life into a predominantly working-class Latino neighborhood, CannonDesign and JGMA selected bold metal colors and shapes for the Daley College's Manufacturing, Technology and Engineering Center (MTEC).

Metal panels, glass and exposed steel combine to create an industrial, high-tech aesthetic, drawing attention to the modern façade. Silver, yellow, orange and red panels appear as fins, blocks and geometric shapes throughout the 57,000 sq. ft. exterior and interior, creating a bright, attractive look. A bold yellow metal panel highlights the underside of the overpass, acting as a prominent entry point.

"The bright yellow of the overpass represents the use of caution colors in manufacturing and draws the community's eyes to the facility even more dramatically," wrote Metal Architecture Editor Paul Deffenbaugh. "The hope is that while young people drive past the school and see the dramatic reveal of the manufacturing equipment, their interest will be piqued."
